Hot Rods Desoto Hemi pushrods

Discussion in 'The Hokey Ass Message Board' started by Desoto291Hemi, May 10, 2021.

  1. Hi guys,
    Would anyone happen to know the length of the pushrods in a Desoto low deck engine
    I have looked several times and can’t seem to find any info .
    This is the 291 Desoto low deck engine.
    From what I have read,,,the intake and exhaust are different lengths as well,,,,correct?
    My engine didn’t have any pushrods when I got it,,,,so I am lost .
    At least with some numbers I can scout around and measure any I might find .
    Thanks guys .

  5. Well,,,,after further investigation,,,,I think I might have the info I need .
    If what I have found is correct,,,the pushrods are :

    Intake are 8.8 long
    Exhaust are 10.11 long

    If anyone has more information,,,,please speak up.
    I’m not getting them yet,,,,,but I try to investigate before hand to know the direction I want to go .

    Sorry I couldn't find any and was too busy to post. Good luck with your 291. Post a build thread if u can
     
  7. Yeah I plan on it.
    I’ve been working on this for some time,,,,,,it has been bored and machine work done .
    It’s on the back burner right now,,,,,health reasons,,,,,,but I’m still getting things in order,,,,because I plan on getting back to it someday.
    I have most of the stuff for the short block,,,,still need all the head work done .
    Still in the planning stage too,,,,,I haven’t had the cam reground yet,,,,,still deciding on the profile I want .
    It will come together in time,,,,,,and money,,,,,,LoL !
